What effect does treated water have upon soil microbes?

Depending on the chlorine levels, it probably sets them back a bit
if it come straight from the pipe but chlorine is very reactive and
probably gets sponged up quickly by the organics (thus buffering [in the
generic sense] its' effects on the critters). Just figures that
the critters evolved with rain water and standing water and that would
have to be best.
